Crypto-assurance for audit

Crypto-assurance provides guarantees against mutations, truncation, and reordering. Although ESDB doesn't provide nativa mutation and reordering capability, data on disk can be tampered to change the content of events. ESDB supports truncation wit...

Store some configuration in the database

ESDB is primarily configured using the config file, which is located on each cluster node. Some features (projections, connectors) are configured in the database itself. It can be confusing to understand where things are configured and why some co...

Support authorisation when reading from $all

Seems like persistent subscriptions aim to solve two problems: Server-side checkpointing for use cases when events are being forwarded to a place that doesn't have the ability to store checkpoints (message brokers), or users just don't want to dea...
